New 50mm F1.4

While you all danced the funky chicken this Saturday evening, I was out in a field testing my new 50mm lens. I bought this primarily for cinematic high def video production, but I think I may use it for photography as well. These are images are among my favourite at the moment.

vinny from Oz, but really an italian

I am thinking about purchasing that lens for AL photography if Sigma offers me to calibrate it to my 5D MK II. I testet 5 different ones. All had a frontfocus of about 25-30 mm wide open at a distance from 0.45-1.0m.

They calibrated 2 with a canon-mount without body. - same FF.

I thought it is a great lens, if they can handle it (there are some very happy people out there - somewhere ;-)). But I heard first time about that green halo around overexposed areas, Kirstin. Thank you for this information.Could you send me a picture showing that effect?
